Hazard(ous) Brothers


Thorgan Hazard 
If it wasn't enough already to have one of the Hazards, Chelsea had to go out and purchase the other Hazard. In recent news, not only has Eden Hazard signed for the English giants, but also his little brother, Thorgan Harzard, has jumped on board. The 19 year old is transferring from the French based club Lens. He only made 14 appearances for the Ligue 2 team. Like his brother, Thorgan is also an attacking midfielder/winger. It seems that he hasn't a lot of playing time, but because he is Eden Hazard's brother and he comes from a very dominant footballing family it seems that he must be able to succeed.

Thorgan Hazard IS only 19, so he still has a lot of time to develop. It looks as if the Chelsea first team is full at the moment, so when the transfer has officially been completed, the only reasonable thing Chelsea could do is loan him out. It sounds bad, but he needs the experience. I really do wonder why Chelsea made the move on Thorgan? Maybe, once Thorgan has gotten the experience he needs Chelsea will proudly be able have the cool name "Hazard Brothers" or "The Hazardous Brothers" being echoed through Stamford Bridge Stadium. The only other brother pairs that play for the same team are Kolo and Yaya Toure who play for Manchester City and the the twins Rafael and Fabio who play for Manchester United (but Fabio just recently got loaned out to QPR).

But anyways, for whatever reason Chelsea has for bring Thorgan Hazard to the club, for skills or for just because, once he is able to make it into the first team I'm going to be really excited to watch the two brothers play side by side!
